Bloomsday!

It's twenty years since the publication of "The Closing of the American Mind" - a book that, with the exception of its introduction (which is all that most people read), was for me an exhilarating insight into what it means to be a philosopher. Once you get past the cranky splutterings of the intro, you get to see one of America's greatest intellectuals talk about some of the West's greatest minds. It remains a classic in my book - something every curious young conservative-inclined student should read, and read again. Here's a gloomy paleocon take. What a decline - from the days when Bloom sold millions to the days when Coulter rules.
